What Food Rescue Grants Round 2 funds
The NSW EPA is working to reduce good quality food from being sent to landfill. Food Rescue Grants are available to expand food rescue and relief capacity to safely manage increasing amounts of rescued food in NSW. The objectives of this grant are to: increase the diversion (i.e. rescue) of quality food suitable for human consumption from landfill; and support NSW food rescue and relief organisations to expand their capacity to manage increasing amounts of rescued food to provide to the community.

How to apply
Applications are made through
Environment Protection Authority
Not through GrantWindow. We do not take applications, charge a fee or act as an intermediary, and any site that offers to apply on your behalf for a government grant is worth a very careful look. The direct link to Environment Protection Authority's own application page is one of the two facts a trial opens, alongside the exact closing date.
- This round is closed. Many Australian grant programs run again, and a closed program is the reason the alert list exists: we watch this listing nightly and tell the list the day it reopens.
- Confirm details on the official page before applying. GrantWindow records what the funder published and when we read it. We are not the funder and this page is not legal, financial or eligibility advice.

Who can apply for Food Rescue Grants Round 2?
